PhD & Postdoctoral Scholarships, Tech3Lab, Canada (2018)

We are looking for Ph.D. students and Postdoctoral fellows interested in conducting research in user experience (UX). Our research team specializes in the use of physiological and neurophysiological measures to evaluate user experience. Our research seeks to improve the user experience while learning or using technology. We do this by analyzing massive amounts of bio-physiological data that are generated during human-IT interactions, which allow to qualify emotion and cognitive responses in users.

WHAT IS UX ? UX is defined as a person's perceptions and responses resulting from the use or anticipated use of digital products or services. UX is a fast growing field with opportunities in academia and industry.
